Good! As always from the author, I didn't quite follow some parts, but I think that's a readers fault, not the authors.

This really should have just been a short magazine article. It is 95% fluff speculating about a wide range of current science research areas with the word quantum dropped in here and there.

I really wanted to like this book, and if the whole book was like the first few chapters, a deep dive into the theories and how they will be implemented - I'd give it 4 stars. But the "random" chapters on how QC would solve high dimensional problems are a given and are better left to specialists in other fields.

I've read a few of Dr. Kaku's books now, and if the other two I read were explorations of a single course of a multi-course meal, this one feels more like a themed charcuterie board. Lotta brief dives into many different topics that can and will be affected as quantum computers become more and more powerful and reliable. An interesting read for sure

The first half of this book is a really spectacularly laid out explanation of how quantum computers work, including quantum mechanics and regular computers. It’s laid out in a way that’s accessible to the general public and contains almost no math. However, the rest of this book explores only hypotheticals of how other fields might be changed, deviating a lot from the subject matter to explain other scientific problems then saying “quantum computers might fix this.” Ultimately, this became extremely rote.
